'Taking a nap in The Wave.'

	The hiker who enters "The Wave" in the Coyote Buttes nature reserve (part of the Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness) may find himself surrounded by a dream-like sandstone landscape. The fine layers of the stone are composed primarily of wind-blown sand from a vast ancient desert. Photo Mick Palarczyk.

'Cottonwoods in Escalante floodplain-1.'

	In autumn the floodplain of the Escalante River (seen here east of the town of Escalante) colours brilliantly yellow with the leaves of cottonwoods. The Fremont cottonwood (Populus fremontii) is exceptionally tolerant of flooding, erosion and flood deposits filling around the trunk. The tree derives its name from cottony structures around its seeds which allow them to be blown long distances. Photo Mick Palarczyk & Paul Smit.
